Tuning my DR750s on Chrome

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

The only time it ever dropped below 11.0 was a bug in the tune. If I started the car and took off right away it ran rich for a couple seconds as the clutch came out. Once it started rolling it leaned out. The oil didn't smell like fuel at all. I may send a sample to blackstone for kicks.

Given how few cars run E85, especially on a stock block (and fewer still have blown motors), this is relatively unknown for us. Again, what we find out from this may vary slightly or wildly from what we've learned from pump. More people blew pistons than rods back in the day, so we don't have much in the way of solid numbers on what they can handle, just some anecdotal evidence. No sense debating it until he tears it open and finds what happened.

Saw this on the 3SGTO FB page. Guy wants 4k for it, says it has just been sitting in his room.

Hopefully, this will work.

Thanks Jeremy! I'm not sure if I want to take the risk, although parting it out and selling the heads would make it a great deal if it is okay.

I take it these are just parts and not an assembled engine? The biggest issue is I do not trust the local machine shop that much.

I used to bend stock rods like noodles, back when I built and was drag racing SLT/SLTT some 12 years ago. But that was from Nitrous. Nitrous likes to bend rods. Never bent one off the bottle.

Judging by the invoice which shows no labor charge, I *assume* it's loose parts. But, I don't know that for sure. Yeah, someone could part out the heads and a few other parts and pretty much clear the rest.

I read on the other site that CP pistons are .030 over and they're the only ones that use that size.
